Could you post a screenshot of your UI? It sounds like maybe something went wrong during the upgrade process. (Does it look like the screenshots on the website?).
Can you clarify what you mean by workspaces and projects?
Projects are not saved in your profile folder, they are saved… wherever you chose to save them.
I would not recommend restoring view-state.xmlc as Defman suggested, this file was not automatically imported for a reason. When you perform a major upgrade some preferences will not get transferred so as to ensure a stable work environment.
By Projects I mean the bottom left subpanel that says Projects which has a list of my projects. (They are empty on Komodo X)
And by workspace I mean the open files I had previously. (Since project search does not work on remote projects, I just open most of my files and do a open files search)
Ok, both of these are pruned when you update across major versions to ensure stability. They will still work but you’re basically starting from a clean slate with Komodo X, as far as your workspace goes anyway.
That is what we did. This is new in Komodo X and will remain for future upgrades. We did this because version upgrades like 8 > 9 would cause lots of issues due to profile folder corruptions and incompatibilities.
You could forcefully “import” your Komodo 9 profile by simply renaming it from 9.3 to 10.0, but I would not recommend this and you would be exposing yourself to lots of potential issues that would not be immediately apparent.
This would involved copying content from one prefs.xml file to another. This will results in a broken Komodo X profile and will likely lead to you having to reset your preferences manually any way.
Having said that, you can see the list of projects from your Komodo 9 install by opening prefs.xml in your profile folder and searching mruProjectList.
They are part of prefs.xml and view-state.xmlc. You’d have to splice the contents of these files together.
I’m not sure I understand why you are so concerned with “restoring” these preferences, as your workspace is ever-changing and easily configured again. And your projects still exist on your filesystem where you saved them, all you have to do is open them.
There is a bunch of files to open, and if every year I am going to have to re-open my workspaces that is going to be painful. Especially due to how many projects I have going. My workspace is not going to change between jumping Komodo versions or between reopening a project where I left off.
If we can get search working on remote projects, it would probably account for 90% of my needs for maintaining workspaces. But as-is, I need to maintain my workspaces for global project search to work.
